Iso-bio mail invention

ABSTRACT

Since Sep.  11, 2001  event happened, the terrorists use anthrax through the mail to U.S. citizens. In order to counter their threats. I invented a patent that not only counters bio-attack, but also counters possible isotope radiation attacks by terrorists who wish to cripple as well as kill U.S. citizens through our mail system. My invention is as following:  
     a Currently postal workers pick-up letters one by one by hand [I propose they collect letters using plastic boxes] so that the postal worker can avoid any contamination from handling the mail.  
     b After all, letters and or parcels are collected in these plastic mailboxes then they are placed on a transportation line to check for radiation.  
     c All letters and or parcels pass along the transportation line into a radiation room [the high radiation kills all of the anthrax and bacteria]. This process is also suitable for trucks and or shipping containers.  
     d After the screening process the letters, parcels, trucks and or shipping containers are sent to the postal worker for regular processing.  
     The cost of using our nuclear waste for a beneficial purpose is extremely low because they are derived for existing “nuclear waste” produce by our nuclear power plants. The U.S. has currently 103 nuclear power plants, which produce a lot of nuclear waste [that are no longer useful as fuel]. This nuclear waste has very higher radiation level, which can be used to kill all kind of bacteria including anthrax. Our current policy for disposing of this nuclear waste is to bury it and specially designed containers in abandon mines. I propose that some of this nuclear waste be used in a beneficial way such as I have outlined above.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] I will explain the following points in this document:

[0002] A. What is the current solution for detecting deadly anthrax andbacteria by mail?

[0003] B. What are the problems of the existing solution?

[0004] C. Why is my invention so good?

[0005] D. What are the benefits of my invention and how can my inventionsolve the problem the current terrorists attack us by mails?

[0006] (A). What is the current solution for detecting anthrax andbacteria by mail?

[0007] Since the discovery of anthrax nail after 9-11 event, the maildelivery has been changed. Postal Service across the United States hastaken additional precautions in its mail processing procedures toprevent and reduce the spread of potential anthrax in the mail. USpostal service has also taken steps further to acquire new systems todetect possible biological contamination in the mail it processes. Oneof the well-publicized detection systems is Lockheed Martin group's“Bio-Mail solution” which is designed to detect and remove the anthraxspores through the mails. Lockheed Martin group claims their technologyis able to detect and remove 99.97% of contaminants such as anthrax thatare greater than 0.3 microns in diameter. It is developed by Lock Martindistribution technologies.

[0008] (B). What are the problems of the existing solution?

[0009] One of the reasons for my invention is to create a new systemthat resolves fundamental flaws in Lockheed Martin group's “Bio-Mailsolution” system. The fact that no one is speaking out on these systemflaws will put general public in United States in great danger ofbio-terrorism. To better understand how my invention is a much moreeffective system to combat the bio-terrorism attack than Lockheed Martingroup's “Bio-Mail solution”, we must first understand why Lockheed's“Bio Mail solution” is ineffective. Following are major flaws in itssystem.

[0010] According to Lockheed Martin group's specification, their systemcan detect the bacteria spores that are greater than 0.3 microns indiameter. In other word, the system is useless to protect people frombacteria spores such as anthrax, when the diameter of spores is smallerthan 0.3 microns. This is major flaw because the terrorists can grindthe anthrax carrier powder or other bacteria spores carrier powderrepeatedly to produce the spores that are less than 0.3 microns, evenaround 0.1 microns. With such small size, the bacteria can easilypenetrate the system without even been detected. This flaw puts people,especially US postal workers, who will handle great amount of mails ingreat danger to contract the disease when the bacteria spores are lessthan 0.3 microns in diameter.

[0011] The second flaw is the implication of the 99.97% bacteria removalrate in Lockheed Martin group's system. Lockheed Martin claims thattheir “Bio-Mail solution” can remove 99.97% bacteria contaminants andleave 0.03% bacteria contaminants unremoved. This may sound like aneffective way to remove the bacteria spores, but in fact, it will notstop the bacteria from spreading around. Grams of anthrax containsapproximately 10,000 trillion anthrax, 0.03% of anthrax that escape fromthe system would translate into 3 trillion spores to pass through thesystem into public. An error margin of 0.03% is not acceptable when sucherror margin represents trillions of deadly bacteria spores flow intothe general public. Such error margin will post enormous health risk topostal workers.

[0012] The third flaw is the use of the ventilation in its system. Thefact that ventilation is used in the system will increase spread ofbacteria multiple times especially when the bacteria spore is smallerenough to go through the system without being detected. The ventilationinside the system will blow contaminated air to everywhere.

[0013] The fourth flaw is the absence of the devices that can detect theradioactive contamination in the mail. If the terrorist spread theradioactive material to the public through mail, Lockheed Martin group'ssystem will not be able to stop such isotope attack, which may be moredeadly than biological attack. Without the ability to detect theradioactive material, their system put not only the postal worker at thegreat risk of radioactive exposure but also the mail receivers who areexposed to such materials. The last flaw is that Lockheed Martins'system is not a killing system, it is only a 99.97% detecting system.

[0014] (C). Why is my invention so good?

[0015] My invention is a system that will counter both biological andisotope attack. It will correct the flaws that exist in the LockheedMartin's “Bio-Mail solution”. My invention consists of two parts.

[0016] The first part is a plastic container that is installed inside ofa postal box. As people drop their letters to the postal box, theletters are dropped into this plastic container, remove the containerfrom the postal box and place an empty plastic container in the postalbox for accepting new mails. The postal workers then return the sealedplastic boxes back to the postal office for radiation processing.

[0017] The second part of invention is devices, which allows subjectspass through it. The two devices are installed. One device is the G-Mcounter to check whether the subject passing through the device containsthe radioactive material. The other devise is a high-level gamma rayradiation source, which will kill all the deadly bacteria such asanthrax. This device will be installed on mail transportation line thattransfers the mail from internal mail dropping area to the place wherepostal workers sort and process the mails.

[0018] The invention works as following. As postal worker return to thepostal office with the sealed plastic containers, they place he plasticcontainers on the transportation line that will move the plasticcontainers to the mail sorting and processing area. As the plasticcontainer passing through my device installed on the transportationline, the G-M detector in my device will examine whether there isradioactive material in the plastic container. If there is radioactivecontamination, my device will knock out the container off thetransportation line and passing the high-level gamma ray radiationsource to kill the potential deadly bacteria inside the plasticcontainer. Therefore, when the plastic containers reach the mail sortingand processing area, they are free of both radioactive contaminationsand deadly bacteria. Postal workers can start sorting and processing themails freely without the danger of exposure to deadly anthrax andradioactive materials.

[0019] (D). What are the benefits of my invention and how can myinvention solve the problem the current terrorists attack us by mails?

[0020] Plastic bag inside the postal box achieves two major goals.First, it eliminates the postal worker's risk of contracting diseasefrom handling contaminated letters as they receive the mails from thepostal box. Second, by using the plastic container to collect the mails,we reduce the spread of anthrax that are in the mail because the mailfrom each postal box is confined into a separate plastic box, anypossible anthrax in the mail will only contaminate the mails within thesame plastic container.

[0021] My invention for the device or radiation room that are installedon the transportation line will kill the bacteria spores 100% instead ofonly detecting 99.97% that other systems claims. My invention can bejust as effective cleaning up the bacteria when they are extremely smallsince gamma ray radiation will kill the bacteria regardless their sizes.Other systems such as that from Lockheed Martin group are not able toremove the bacteria spores when their size drops below 0.3 microns indiameter.

[0022] My invention is also able to detect the radioactive contaminationin the mail. This capability will stop terrorist's isotope attackthrough the mail.

[0023] By removing the ventilation components before the anthrax arekilled, my device avoids the negative side effect that exists in othersystems when the contaminated air are blown into empty space and speedup the spread of the deadly anthrax that escape from the system.

[0024] Another benefit of my invention is its simplicity and low cost.Organization both large and small can implement them at low costs andmuch faster pace. Many others systems on the market are expensive andare affordable by large organizations. This put people who don't have alot of resources at disadvantage. My invention, with its cost that is amuch smaller fraction of other systems on the market will provide theprotection against terrorist attack for much greater population thanthose expensive systems.

[0025] Regarding to the potential damage to the sensitive subjects inthe mail such as film or medicine from the high-level gamma rayradiation, a special procedure should be implemented for people whoshould send sensitive material directly to the postal office. Postaloffice can examine such mail separate upon customer's request.

SUMMARY

[0026] My invention is a much more effective system than the currentsystems and it counters both terrorists′ biological attack and isotopesattack. With its much lower cost and great effectiveness, it should bemade known to the public as soon as possible so that people can protecttheir health and life against terrorism attack as earlier as possible.

What I claim as my invention are:
 1. Use radiation detector, Gamma Raycombined to kill all of the bacteria, the virus and the anthrax throughthe mail to prevent attack by terrorists.
 2. Not only by mail,terrorists attack can attack us through above mentioned Methods inanyway to attack us, my invention can also do big matter such As cargoobjects.
